  • Patent number: 8202684
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for manufacturing a probe sheet in which a probe tip can be arranged at a predetermined accurate position without the need for troublesome positional adjustment operations of the probe tip in coupling operations of each contactor and a probe sheet main body. It is a method for manufacturing a probe sheet comprising a probe sheet main body having conductive paths and a plurality of contactors formed to be protruded from one surface of the probe sheet main body and connected to the conductive paths.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 19, 2012
    Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Nihon Micronics
    Inventors: Kazuhito Hamada, Takashi Akiniwa, Satoshi Narita
  • Publication number: 20110175635
    Abstract: A probe for an electrical test has a foot portion coupled with a board, an arm portion extending laterally from a lower end portion of the foot portion, and a needle tip portion projecting downward from a tip end portion of the arm portion. At least one selected from a group consisting of the foot portion, the arm portion, and the needle tip portion comprises a symbol specifying a position of the probe on the board.

  • Patent number: 7934944
    Abstract: An embodiment of an electrical connecting apparatus comprises a support board having an upper surface and a lower surface, a block having an attachment surface directing downward and attached to the support board in a state where at least the attachment surface is located below the support board, a flexible circuit board having a contactor area in which a plurality of contactors are arranged and an outside area around the contactor area and attached at part of the outside area to the lower surface of the support board in a state where at least the contactor area is opposed to the attachment surface of the block, and a reference mark member having a lower end surface and a reference mark for positioning provided on the lower end surface and attached to the block in a state where the lower end surface is exposed to the lower side of the circuit board. Accordingly, the measurement accuracy of the probe tip position is heightened.

  • Patent number: 7800001
    Abstract: An embodiment of a probe sheet enabling to restrict misalignment of the posture of each contactor accurately positioned on a probe sheet main body caused by deformation of the probe sheet main body is provided. The probe sheet comprises a probe sheet main body having a flexible insulating synthetic resin film and conductive paths buried in the synthetic resin film and a plurality of contactors formed to be protruded from a contactor area on one surface of the probe sheet main body and connected to the conductive paths. In the probe sheet main body is buried a plate-shaped member having higher rigidity than that of the synthetic resin film and restricting deformation of the contactor area.
